Hello form Kentucky

Hey guys! I have been lurking around here for a few days so I thought that I would introduce myself.

I've only been smoking pipes and cigars for a few weeks now and I've enjoyed every bit of it so far. I'm starting with a cheap pipe that was given to me and a few pipe tobaccos. I've only had a few different cigars that range under two dollars and when cash flow allows for it I will be trying some better cigars. The ones that I've had so far have been pretty good so I am wondering if the more expensive cigars are really going to be worth the extra money, time will tell I guess.

Welcome to the BoB. We've lots of members who will be glad to help guide you on your pipe journey. All you have to do is ask. Just my opinion but I think you'd be better served by concentrating your efforts on learning the wonderful pleasures of smoking a pipe. Forget about the cigars.

As the price of the cigar goes up, particularly between where you are and those at around $5 or $6, there is a big difference, chiefly in the quality of the tobacco and in the rolling. Inexpensive cigars tend to be rolled by those new to the craft. Dealing with plugged cigars is for me an exercise in acute frustration! Two cigars that are going to cost you more but are very worthwhile are the Pepin Garcia Black Label and the Romeo & Julieta Romeo (#3 in the Cigar Aficionado Top 25 cigars of 2012).
